The unsexy future of ebooks: they will probably play an important role as technical manuals, etc and all the other junk books you see at the thrift store and save paper/trouble/cost but probably won't replace the books that people read for pleasure (novels, poetry) except as an ancillary tool.
The internet's unsexy thing-that-must-not-be-uttered: the truth makes horrible clickbait.
